Linc

When he was waiting tables in New York, Lonnie McCullough had a dream. Like many big-city waiters, he wanted to be on the stage. But instead of waiting around for someone to cast him, he saved his tip money and starred in his own production of Tennessee Williams' "27 Wagons Full of Cotton." "I loved the play," says McCullough, who makes his daytime debut this week on "As the World Turns." "I absolutely had to do it, so I put together the production with the money I got for waiting...

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Rio Tinto has agreed to give away the Blair Athol coal mine in Australia to Linc Energy , which plans to reopen the mine to expand its coal unit ahead of a spin-off, the two companies said on Thursday. Rio Tinto and its partners closed the mine last November as its resource had nearly run out after 30 years of operations and it was losing money amid a coal price slump. Linc Energy, with lower overheads than a giant like Rio Tinto, was...

The tiny Lake County Baptist School in Waukegan took on big-school capabilities this school year by signing up for Live Interactive Classrooms (LINC). Call it electronic classrooms, call it automated teaching or high-tech training, what it all boils down to is that a smaller school can offer a wider variety of class offerings than typically would be available without LINC. With a television monitor and the flip of a switch, high school students at Lake County Baptist are...

A trial was scheduled for Monday. ---------- Compiled from news services and edited by Cara DiPasquale (cdipasquale@tribune.com) and Martin Gee (mtgee@tribune.

When the White House Was Ours By Porter Shreve Mariner, 280 pages, $12.95 Acute concerns about the environment, energy and the economy. Appallingly high heating and gas bills. A Democratic presidential candidate claiming the mantle of "change" in a close race against a Republican pushing fundamental American virtues. 2008? Sure, and 1976 too. We've come a short way, baby. In his third novel, "When the White House Was Ours," Porter Shreve melds the bicentennial backdrop with fun...

Sometimes money is a little tight. My husband wants to keep giving money to his 23-year-old son, "Linc," a musician. I really love my stepson and would do anything for him. I even took a second job to help pay for his tuition at a nearby junior college, and he's attending classes...

Alicia Abbott was having a Jim Thome kind of day--except the left-handed, power-hitting designated hitter is a Cubs fan who idolized Mark Grace. Comparisons aside, Abbott nearly single-handedly led No. 3 Lincoln-Way Central to a double-header sweep of No. 7 Marist by 6-2 and 1-0 scores Friday in New Lenox. In the opener, the junior had a two-run home run, an RBI double and a bases-loaded walk. Her double in the nightcap scored Carly DeMarco, who had singled, and made pitcher Amy Solava's...

You wouldn't know it from watching C-SPAN, but democracy in action can be pretty rockin'. And sweaty. A little loud too. Take Wednesday's free concert at Metro, for example. When Descarga, Flatfoot 56, Linc and Katie Todd Band take the stage, it'll be because metromix readers voted for them in the second annual Rock 'n' Vote contest. It'll be like watching Sen. Barack Obama getting sworn in, except, you know, exciting. This whole local-band contest started back in March when we picked our 10...

All My Children: Erica woke up from a nightmare about Richard and answered the ringing phone, then screamed when she heard his voice. Kendall beat around the bush when Dimitri asked if she gave Richard their phone number. Since Kendall is a constant reminder of Richard, Erica flirted with Peeping Tom Councilman Fromer to find out if he saw Laurel kill Denny in self-defense. Thinking Ted was Tad, Edmund blasted "Tad" for his affair with Dixie. Another World: Vicky...

All My Children: Anton admitted to Dimitri that he and Kendall made love before Kendall went to the hospital and claimed Dimitri had raped her. To make it appear that Erica is losing her mind, Kendall lied to Jack that she never said Dimitri had raped her.

Gloria threatened to have Adam fire Alec, who sent her gifts. Adam asked...
